lyrics

My grandfather once told me, “son
Life is for the living ones
And death can be so unforgiving
We gotta learn to live it and forgive them”

Buried success
Milestones sink into lore
Concerned with content?
Strive daily, be wary for more
White lightning drink
Bourbon pours for the weak
Sage wisdom thrives
While we’re alive living meek

My friend’s father once told me, “son
Be proud for what your good heart’s won
Impressions from the loss and sadness
The healing frees you to live and accept less”

My stunt father once told me, “son
We may fumble but we’re not alone
Beached waves harness hues of grief’s defeat
Compete, an ace, lose sight, that’s love
No gravestone suite”

As I gently age
Into my shadow below
A fair share of pain
Giving in, emotions will grow
Bless be the beasts
And the children they sow
Feasts for the fools
To tip their cups for the show

My own father once told me, “son
Treat them as if they already are
And they’ll become what they want to emit
Conceive, believe, goodwill
Home run, kid”

My grandfather once told me, “son
Life is for the living ones
And death can be so unforgiving
Gotta learn to live it and not forget them”
